CLAT 2026: Exam date announced; registration to start on August 1
'The Executive Committee and the Governing Body of the Consortium of National Law Universities (the 'Consortium') at their Meetings held on July 20th, 2025 decided that the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 shall be conducted on Sunday, December 7th 2025, from 2 PM-4 PM,' read the notice published on the consortium website.
The official notification for CLAT 2026, which will include comprehensive details such as the syllabus, exam pattern, marking scheme, application fee, eligibility criteria, and other key information, is expected to be published soon on the CLAT website.
According to the eligibility norms, candidates who have completed Class 12 with a minimum of 45 per cent marks (40 per cent for reserved categories) can apply for the CLAT UG exam. For CLAT PG, applicants must hold an LLB degree with at least 45 per cent marks, while candidates from SC, ST, and PwD categories require a minimum of 40 per cent.
In the previous year, the application fee was Rs 4,000 for candidates from the General and OBC categories, and Rs 3,500 for those belonging to SC, ST, and BPL categories.
Last year CLAT 2025 exam was mired with controversies. Over five months after the exam was held following a bunch of court cases, Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) results for undergraduate courses were revised and declared on Saturday (May 17).
This year, CLAT, which was held on December 1, 2024, faced court cases over a few questions asked in the exam and the correct answers to them. The matter has drawn attention to the framing of questions and the conduct of the exam, with the Supreme Court expressing 'deep anguish' in a judgement earlier this month 'regarding the callous and casual manner in which' the Consortium of NLUs has been framing questions for CLAT, 'an examination on the basis of which meritorious candidates get entry into the prestigious National Law Universities across the country.'

Are Indian homebuyers growing wealth or buying liabilities? Explains consultant
Many Indian families dream of owning a house, but what if buying a home is actually stopping them from growing real wealth? Real-estate consultant Aishwaraya shri Kapoor explains why India's middle class is falling behind while the top 5% keep multiplying their money.'Most Indian homebuyers aren't building wealth. They're buying liabilities,' Kapoor wrote, pointing out that costs like stamp duty, GST, registration, and pre-EMI can eat up over Rs 50 lakh even before a Rs 2 crore property starts to gain value. advertisementWHY THE MIDDLE CLASS LOSESKapoor says the middle class often believes that once they get possession of a house, they're making progress. But she warns, 'Most believe possession equals progress. It doesn't.'Many people end up with what she calls 'dead capital,' money locked away that doesn't grow fast THE WEALTHY PLAY IT DIFFERENTLYSo how do India's richest keep winning? Kapoor says they follow what she calls the Value Mogration Model. Instead of waiting for years to get the keys, they buy early, exit before the crowd, and reinvest wisely. 'The Top 5% Think Differently. They don't wait for handover. They rotate capital,' Kapoor explains. According to her, the smart ones enter early at around Rs 12–14K per square foot, exit fast when rates touch Rs 18–20K per square foot, Reinvest in better assets like shop-cum-offices (SCOs), branded spaces, or rented floors and repeat every 2–3 years to keep returns above 25%Kapoor added that early investors in DLF made Rs 3–4 crore before they even got possession of their flats. But those who bought late were stuck with fewer gains and less flexibility. 'Same project. Different capital IQ,' she VS STRATEGYSo where does the middle class go wrong? Kapoor believes they buy homes with their hearts, not their heads. 'They buy for emotion. The wealthy buy for timing, exit, and rotation,' she concluded her post by saying, 'Ownership isn't outcome. Real wealth in real estate is engineered — not inherited, not imagined. It's time India's buyers start behaving like investors.'- Ends
